Unfortunately the greedy and selfish seem to be conspiring much harder than the decent folks lately.

I’ve also worked at places where everybody thought they were so smart that they constantly reinvented the wheel without any critical thought about how existing solutions might in fact be better. Beware the traps of extremes.

Is this not generally a problem with third-party services, whether retainer or ad hoc? If you don't have the expertise in house, how do you vet the quality of the work product? This is particularly an issue for DFIR where defects may not be visible for some time.

Be careful how your retainer agreement is crafted. The SOW should be clear about exactly what kind of work can be performed under the retainer.

Depends on the opportunity—I might try to negotiate them down, but I’m fine with just wishing them luck and walking away.
Lately I've been running into more large companies offering only "Net 90" payment terms to vendors. Maybe that works for large suppliers, but you'll never see me working for these terms. I wonder about impact on project outcomes as a result of these policies.

I enjoyed the recent Anthony Bourdain documentary, and the Beatles “Get Back” was excellent. Next on our watch list is “The Gorge”.
Hope you feel better soon. Apparently there’s no real reason to hope the idiots will stop. You deserve better.
